<h3 class="section">10.4 Arithmetic on <code>poly_int</code>s</h3>

<p>Addition, subtraction, negation and bit inversion all work normally for
<code>poly_int</code>s.  Multiplication by a constant multiplier and left
shifting by a constant shift amount also work normally.  General
multiplication of two <code>poly_int</code>s is not supported and is not
useful in practice.
</p>
<p>Other operations are only conditionally supported: the operation
might succeed or might fail, depending on the inputs.
</p>
<p>This section describes both types of operation.
